24/57 (8)

Currently broadcasting on SirenFM 107.3 to the City of Lincoln, 27/57 is an open submission Sound-Arts radio show. People send in their work, and we broadcast it. Simple as that really. Oh, except of course, the submission must be 27 or 57 minutes long and the contributer be subjected to a brief interview

Sound Designer and Compser from Burren, Co Clare in Ireland, Barry Dillon works in Acousmatics, Electroacoustic and Computer based composition. His background in electronic engineering and computer science informs his work as he blends musique concrète with industrial strength audio software, calling upon an entirely new sonic pallet.

Tapenoise is a visual artist, poet, experimental musician and producer. He is a series contributer to resonancefm with a particular focus on anti-capitalism, sustainability, green futures and bio-fuels :

"The extent to which we rely upon electronic modes of comunication and representation today could not be exaggerated, redundancy and obscelesence can soon infiltrate our thinking as we try to keep up."

Mr Badly Worn is a Sound Engineer, Musician, Experimentalist and a fully paid-up member of the Frying Pan Collective : ambient recordings & noises are sampled, and heavily processing then often deleted, so expect the sounds of various recording technologies being thoroughly abused in a very musical manner.

Dawn is a visual artist and composer. Her work explores the interplay between sound, space, movement and material. 53 of her 57 minutes is a work for 24 differently pitched wine glasses. The composition is based on a 'change ringing' system, as practiced by bell ringers. Following that there is a 4 minute improvisation on guitar seeking a range of harmonics produced by the strings. The final minute is a collection of different location recordings roughly cut together to investigate how the environment acts as a resonator or filter, like the body of an acoustic instrument, shaping the sound passing through it.

A lore unto himself, Mr Suzuki, although primarily a top-notch drummer, is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and exceptional (experi)mentalist. A skilled listener with a passion for the unusual, Suzuki goes in diverse directions, not afraid to blend nastiness with beauty, complexity with ambience. His 57 is entitled 'Under the Knife' and consists of 9 tracks on the dark side sporting titles such as anaesthesia, amputation, incision and convalesence. visit Muddy Suzuki's myspace page here

Amie Slavin's work reflects a deep interest in voices both literal and metaphoric. She creates pieces to represent people, communities and issues, exploring an stretching the audio palate. She makes use of both found and designed sounds, in addition to vocal interview and composed content. Her 57 consists of 2 pieces - wavePOWER and wavePLAY - complimentary and contrasting pieces focussing on our societal relationships with all types of waveform.

Musician & sound-engineer, daz's vst plugins are used throughout this, the first of his looped based contributions - a new piece made up from works previously played on the show. A collusion of neo-conCRET[inism], sampling, manipulation and general chaos. He's also the series producer, by the way.
